Yes, the A330 is getting a new economy seat: this is a next-gen project for Cathay, and it'll bring together almost all the advances from the rest of the fleet.

A deeper dive into the A330 Aria Studio: although Cathay has evaluated other layouts, the A330 Aria Studio cabin retains the familiar 'reverse herringbone' layout, albeit at a sharper angle due to the A330's narrow cabin.

Oh, and sad news: CX says the A330 won't else get that clever and convenient ‘bathroom availability’ screen of the 777.

Not having the bathroom thing is silly.
CX created this and should own it as it could have been a key part of its offer...

Also who is CX contracting is refurbishment to? EK is way faster than CX...
